gymnastics!

Kadie started gymnastics this spring. It is her first real class or sport or really anything. I have been reluctant to start anything too early, mostly for selfish reasons, as I don't like to be running all over town. But it is inevitable and Kadie has just absolutely loved this little gymnastics class. She is a little monkey and very daring, which this has only promoted more. The first few classes Brad and I went to watch and it was so fun and so funny. She could just not figure out how to do a forward roll. The coordination at first as a bit much, but she improved so quickly and never stopped trying. It has been a great experience.

This Saturday they had the Parade of Planets, where each class ( all are named after planets, Kadie is in the Saturn Class) took their parents through a series of skills and showed what they could do. I could finally get some close ups and some pictures that were not just a blur due to the digital delay.

Pure joy... our little gymnast

Her favorite is the bars. If we could set up a bar at home, I have no doubt she would dangle from it all day long.

Her bridge- still not quite strong enough to lift her head up.

The headstand- took some time to perfect but so proud of her self.
